NJSLA Review Homework 10

What is the big idea about thermal energy transfer?

• It is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another.

• It is the creation of energy from nothing.

• It is the destruction of energy.

What happens to your nose when you go outside in low temperatures?

• It gets warmer

• It stays the same

• It gets colder

• It changes color

Fill in the blank: Everything, including extremely cold things like ice, has ________ energy.

• thermal

• kinetic

• potential

• chemical

THINK ABOUT IT: Everything has a temperature that can be measured, so does that mean that everything contains heat? What about extremely cold things?

• Yes, everything contains heat.

• No, extremely cold things do not contain heat.

• Only objects above a certain temperature contain heat.

• Heat and temperature are not related.

How is this possible?

• The large surface area of the Space Blanket discourages heat transfer.

• The sheet is thin, so it is more difficult for heat to transfer through it.

• The reflective surface reflects body heat back to the user.

• Aluminum is a great insulator, just like wool.

Why are denser, more solid materials such as metals better at conducting thermal energy?

• A) All the molecules in metals are in direct contact.

• B) Metallic atoms vibrate more than non-metallic atoms.

• C) The thicker the material, the better it is at conducting heat.

• D) The energy transfers more quickly between the closer molecules.
